New to Goats and Pack Goats

[Henrico451]

Hi... My family and I decided to get a little Nigerian Dwarf girl for a pet.  I've had dogs all my life, but I've never had a goat, so it was going to be something different.  Well... needless to say, we fell in love with her.  After getting her, I started doing a LOT of research on goats and found out about pack goats.  I've always done agility and obedience with my dogs, so I thought getting involved with my goat would be great too.  Of course, Genevieve, my dwarf, is too small to pack, so I decided to add a LaMancha and a Kiko to the mix.  My LaMancha is 11 weeks, and he is a bottle fed baby.  I've had him since he was 6 weeks.  My kiko was just weened.  He stayed with his mother, but we went over and played with him every weekend until he came home with us.

We have started leash training the babies, and we have also started trail training the babies.  We have only been going out for about an hour because of the heat and because the babies are so young.  I know there is so much I have to learn, so I decided to join this group and get all the ends and outs about pack goats.
